Thanks for the concern Bill. It's actually yet another thing I had not thought about. My garage is not attached, so I don't think it too much of a concern for people in the house. Also, in addition to the massive vent (10") the oven will have, I have multiple exhausts already in the garage to try to keep things a little cooler in the summer.

Craig, chicken parm, I have had my homebuilt inside my house, permitted by the town btw, running for about 5 years now. I have co detectors in that room and two in the main house. They have never gone off. I rarely set off a smoke detector about 10 feet from the oven when I am getting a draft going. Craig, is the 10" pipe what was recommended? Mine is a 7 and drafts great. BTW congrats on that oven! -marc

definately going to be the best garage mounted pizza oven ever! did you ever make the last 6" move? i was thinking a couple of floor jacks might get it done.

Thank you. No, I have not yet. I don't think it will be a big deal though. I have a 5K hand pallet jack at the office. I'll build what is essentially going to be a very thick pallet to fit between the bottom of the oven and the hand jack, so I can lift it an inch or so and roll it the last few inches.

Great to read about that! Good idea to take all the precautions and put your mind at ease.

I got the WFO into her final position this evening. I was going to build an overengineered cradle and use a pallet jack, but then inspiration hit - if I'm going to use a pallet jack, why not just use pallets to lift it. With a little reinforcing, it worked like a charm, and saved me $100. The forklift company also refunded my charge after the ordeal (and fixed the damage to the lawn too), so the whole move cost me a total of about $25. One of the quotes I got was $1500! Praise God.

This weekend I hope to get the ventilation designed and the parts ordered.

I had a bit of a "Jackie Tran" day yesterday (By this I mean frustrating, unexpected delays in oven construction).

No sooner did I think I would have everything I needed to vent the oven next week and be burning wood by Memorial day, I was informed that one critical piece was backordered until the frekin' end of June.
